CORRIDOR 10 - a sustainable way of integrations
The Technical Specification of Interoperability relating to the trans-European conventional rail system -
Subsystem Infrastructure covers the conventional railway system maintenance from the aspect of
safety, reliability and availability, health, environmental protection and technical compatibility of the
maintenance installations for conventional rolling stock (European Commission, 2011).
The Infrastructure Manager has to define, for each conventional rail line, a maintenance plan
according to (European Commission, 2011). The plan defines types of inspection and testing and their
frequency, professional competences of staff, measuring methods and necessary procedures.
It should be emphasized that from the railway infrastructure aspect, the railway noise control is not
realized only in the area of maintenance. Noise control begins already in the phase of planning and
design of the railway and continues in the phase of construction and maintenance of the railway
infrastructure.
Since the rolling of the wheel on the rail is the primary source of noise in the widest range of velocities
on the conventional railway network, special attention must be directed to the design and maintenance
of the track and vehicles.
Application of indirect measures for noise protection only have sense after applying all possible
measures in railway planning and design, as well as measures in design and maintenance of vehicles
and track. Decision on the application of passive measures of protection must be based on the
corresponding calculations which justify their application.
Railway noise and vibration control lasts throughout the entire service life of the track by coordinating
and performing railway infrastructure and vehicle maintenance activities.
